2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · LB66 KFV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful test on October 22, 2025, at 38,288 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a failure on that same day due to headlamp incompatibility and alignment issues alongside a perished offside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover. The fact that these defects were rectified immediately to achieve a clean pass suggests the owner is reactive to MOT-related requirements rather than allowing faults to persist beyond legal standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,254 miles per year. Data shows a consistent pattern of low usage, moving from 13,655 miles in October 2020 up to 38,288 miles by October 2025. This low-mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes lead to secondary degradation of rubber components or corrosion on brake surfaces if the car has sat stationary for long periods between tests. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the ball joint dust cover flagged in the 2025 failure has been replaced and remains free of grease ingress. The history also notes a binding offside rear service brake in 2021 at 20,686 miles, which warrants a check for uneven pad wear or a sticking caliper to ensure the issue has not returned. Given the headlamp aim failure in the most recent test, verifying that the bulbs are the correct specification and the beam height is properly adjusted is essential to ensure night driving safety.
